Hi all, have been following the adventures of all those who attended the AGM and by all accounts it was a great crowd and an even greater event.
I have had my bike on the market for a few months and have sold it to a lovely lady down in Warnambool, I will ensure I tell her about all you fantastic people and to jog her memory I will leave a few Shadow cards in convenient places, (tool kit, service manual, saddlebags) so hopefully she will sign up and meet you mob. I have given up riding for now but not forever, and haven't given up cruising, just reinvested my time and the money I get from the sale of DD into cruising of a different sort, I can't live less than a km from the Gippsland lakes and not own a boat.. so now I am water cruising... when I get sick of this or miss the bike too much I will grab another Shadow for sure, but an 1100 next time. I will keep an eye on the forums to make sure Shane and George don't bullshit too much but until then.
take care people, ride far and ride safe... Until next time Nobby out.

That's kinda sad Nobby, I still remember getting a pm from you telling me bout SRA and I've never looked back. Tis all thanks to you that I'm here and have to say I was dissapointed that I didn't get to meet you at the Meet. Anyways I know you'll enjoy the boating ... watch out for those sailors That doesn't mean you will be leaving the forums tho does it .. I'm sure you'll still have plenty of stories for us and I know you wont be able to stay away from bikes for long

I have done the same thing over the years nobby. Sell bike to buy boat then miss bike. Sell boat to buy bike again. This time I've decided the bikes will not be got rid of again. I've compromised with cheaper boat and keep a bike. For me the bike is cheap sanity.

Best of luck to you and your water adventures Nobby! I have to admit I don't fully understand giving up riding, but do understand we're all different and you gotta do whatever you need to do to keep grinning! Enjoy matey, and hopefully see you on the flipside:)

yeh, this is the fourth time I have hung up my helmet, but I always seem to go back, Trish reckons it's like a half tame horse in a paddock, everytime it hears the wild horses running past it wants to jump the fence and go with em... she gives me 2yrs tops before I buy another bike.....
